Seafood Recipes & Cooking Tips
Wild-Caught vs. Farm-Raised
Many (mistakenly) believe that farm-raised seafood is bad, and wild-caught fish is always the premium product. While there’s some merit to this misconception, this oversimplified message is far from the truth. Farmed fish does sound scary. It’s been associated with public issues in regard to the environment and food safety in the past.
Cook Lobster Like the Pros
We feel especially lucky to be sourcing from Ready Seafood directly so that our customers can try these extra meaty tails for themselves. Curt Brown and Brendan Ready (cousins, lobstermen, and key leaders at Ready Seafood) graciously showed us their favorite ways to prepare this shellfish favorite on Instagram Live.
Fair Trade Certified Shrimp
Wild Caught Mexican Blue Shrimp from Del Pacifico, the first and only Fair Trade Certified wild shrimp company! Many people associate Fair Trade certification with safe working conditions and fair wages to farmers and workers — which is absolutely a huge part of it — but it goes far beyond the labor side of a product.
Salmon From Frøya Norway
In January, I visited the remote island of Frøya in western Norway: population 4,962. It was a many-hours drive from anywhere, just off the coast and beyond the protection of the fjords — home of the PrimeWaters salmon we now offer. It’s salmon raised right, without antibiotics or growth hormones.
